Hi all on the lists ! even this is a IT-relatet list, I just will use it to ask everyone to hold on for a few minutes, and ask for attention for the victims of hurricane Katrina. about 10.000 people should have died as I've heard just in the news, and still hundrets of thousends need help ! even most of us here on the list may be outside the states and it may look like that we can't help - we can !! just have a look into your local news, it may be that there are some information where you can spend some money. even if you can spend only a few bucks. there are so many people who need help - now & quick. so look into the news, look for organisations trying to help ! if there is no special organisation at your place, look for the red cruise, because they will know at last where you can spend and help. this is no spam, as you may have already seen my name on mails here. I'm not related to any organisation that tries to make money with it. I'm just a person that is shoked about what happens. thanks for your audiance, regards, JBScout [Berlin, germany] PS: if someone feels uncomfortabel about this mail - please fell free to send me an eMail PRIVAT. no flame mails on this list. thanks.

Hi Andreas, can you setup a http access to opensuse.linux.co.nz/srv/ftp/pub/SUPER/files/, this would simplify my life when I am under my firewall. I made 2 simple correction at http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/1_CD_install. Take a look.

I have searched around for optimiziation flag for x86_64, and I havn't find mutch. >> 2. test and install it on beta4 >> 3. build cd image >That is really the only step really required. I begin do try to make it toaday with beta3. I will be able to dowload beta4 in 2, 3 days, torrent isn't so fast! >> 4. benchmark >> >And that one ;) Of course. >Anyhow .. what are your thoughts? >From http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/SUPER Currently integrated enhancements * Prelinking * preload kde+OpenOffice * Con Kolivas kernel patches * Some i686 packages * Fonts Optimal Use of Fonts on SuSE I read correctly in b4 are integreted preload and Fonts. So i have in any case to make rpm for prelinking and kernel.

RE: [opensuse-optimize] Stimulate building RPMs for SuSE

I think it is better if you post this on opensuse ml. Ciao -----Original Message----- From: Zlatko Michailov [mailto:zmichailov@meylan.oilfield.slb.com] Sent: giovedi 1 settembre 2005 16.16 To: opensuse-optimize(a)opensuse.org Subject: [opensuse-optimize] Stimulate building RPMs for SuSE Please create a section on the opensuse.org web site where enthusiasts around the world can upload product RPMs for SuSE. I have used both Red Hat 8 and SuSE 9. SuSE is way more user-friendly than Red Hat. However, when it comes to installing products that are not included in the original distribution, or even updating an existing product, Red Hat becomes the king of the hill. My observation is that if a project distributes any binaries, RPMS for Red Hat/Fedora are always included, while RPMs for SuSE are not very popular. What I'm suggesting is that the opensuse.org web site becomes the ultimate location for third-party product RPMs for SuSE. It only takes some disk space and a couple of wiki pages. Thanks, Zlatko

New arch for OpenSUSE
by Fernando Simon 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

Hi folks, First of all, I'm Fernando Simon, 21 years old, from Brazil. Here I work with development (Web, GIS, and OCI) and databases, and I'm a Linux enthusiast. Here I work directly with Linux, compiling programs from source, compiling kernel, installing databases (Oracle and PostgreSQL). In the begin of this year I bought a laptop (x64 arch) and installed a SuSE 9.3 x64 and started to compile programs by my self. When I started to compile I saw some problems with the architecture (the /lib and /lib64), link errors, path errors.... In the end of the July I found in the a good article about a new way how to restructure a linux distribution to use a better multi-architecture support. The link to article: http://www.linuxbase.org/futures/ideas/multiarch/ My doubt is, this way can be apply in the next release for OpenSUSE? Is possible to OpenSUSE use this way by default? Hints? Thanks again Fernando Simon
